Soul Punch came and played a set for a last minute pop-up outdoor event for us and everyone loved them! Of course, we had some rain roll in which dampened things a bit but they did not miss a beat.
Highly recommend! Very nice, talented, & professional band.

Exactly what we were looking for. My guests loved it. Will book again.
Response from Soul Punch:
Thanks for the great review and the great hospitality. We enjoyed playing for you guys.
Everyone had a great time listening to Soul Punch Folk Band. They played at a family event and had the entire "dance floor" filled with little kids dancing to all of the songs. Jim was easy to work with and the band had their equipment set up in no time. We will definitely consider them for our next event!
Response from Soul Punch:

Soul Punch is a hybrid between an acoustic duo and a full band. Two guitars, some drums, and a pretty full sound and a bass player can be added for certain events. You'll hear Soul Punch put their own spin on many of your favorite songs from the 50's to current music. Expect to have a good time at your event. Soul Punch encourages party goer participation with an extra microphone and percussion instruments for those wanting to join in the fun. But there are only three of us so we are more reasonable than a full band for price.
The Full band Side Eye Dig is also available for your corporate event or festival or bar venue.
Soul Punch is made of Scott Palmer and Jim Darnell, two former members of the rock band 3JC who had some success with airplay in the U.S as well as Australia. Recently Stand Up Bassist Steve Murphy joined the group and added his folk-ish, rockabilly style and sound. You've also probably heard some of their music on cable t.v. shows such as Bizarre Foods, Rehab Addict, Red Bull commercials and others. Now they enjoy putting their own spin on all their favorite tunes from the 50's to current covers and entertaining crowds. Soul Punch is a hybrid between your typical acoustic duo and a full band as Jim plays his foot operated drum kit while playing guitar and singing back-up while Scotto sings and plays acoustic guitar, til things get going then he grabs the electric and rips some solo's. Steve adds the walking bass lines and some great vocals as well. Soul Punch will cater to your event, after all it's your party. Book Soul Punch. You won't be sorry!
We also have the four piece blues rock band Side Eye Dog available for booking for your corporate event or festival or bar event if you want the full band.
Soul Punch will bring the sound system as needed and just requires an outlet and a 8" x 6" space to set up.
